In the story, Ivan Baracs seeks revenge by shaming his noble friends. He dresses his groom, Misha, in a tailscoat and introduces him into society as Count Tasziló. Mishka's fiancée, Marchesa, the dishwasher girl with the palms of her hands, becomes Countess Mary... The interesting thing about Mishka the Magician is that it is one of the rare pieces of operetta literature in which the dancer-comedian and the sub-radio play the leading roles.

Eyewitness

Oct 27, 2021

"A documentary anatomy of mass murder for one monitor and 34 talking heads." These are the words the filmmakers use in the credits to describe their project, which thematises the execution of more than 260 Carpathian Germans, Hungarians and Slovaks by Czechoslovak army soldiers near Přerov in June 1945. The “massacre at Přerov” is made present through a minimalist dramatisation of the interrogation footage of direct participants, eyewitnesses, and others. It is as if the characters of ancient theatre were entering the Zoom “stage” and delivering a tragic message of fear, hatred and disinterest across the chasm of time.
